House Battery in a 3010DS

I am looking into replacing the house batteries with the "Battle Born lithium Batteries" has any one put these batteries into there Sunseeker 3010DS?

If you have used them, how did they perform?

Check out the Forester sub-forum for some information on a recent change to lithium batteries. Should be very similar to your Sunseeker even though they are using solar setup. As he says, though, it is all new.

No problems with my tail lights. They seem to be sealed very well so far.

I have the same rig, my taillights filled with water. They removed them and resealed with a clear sealer under and around, it's not leaking anymore. Check with FR, they did have a problem with taillights in 2016.

I have a 2012 that had the same taillight problem. They are easy to take off, Get some clear sealer and put it around the top and 3/4 of the way down each side.

Don’t do the bottom. It’s easier to take off in the future. Mine has never lost a bulb since.

But I lost probably 10 bulbs before I wised up. Lol

My 2016 had moisture in the bottom of the right tail light assembly right after we bought it. I removed the backup light lens, let the moisture dry out and resealed around the clear lens. Never an issue since then.

Sorry Jim and Janelle! I’m looking at those batteries also. Should I wait till spring to replace my original Coach batteries now that winter is here?
